Welcome Home!...sister

Later that week...

"That's it, Sherrie we can't put it off any longer!" My mother said while we were driving to pick up my sister at the airport, "put what off?" I asked, I didn't realize I said it with attitude until i looked up and saw her face, I know she's been under a lot of stress lately, with my brother and everything. I don't blame her! its been 6 days, 8 hours, and 17 minutes since my brother been missing! I've been overwhelmed with Sadness, guilt, stress, and anger with myself, i've been drowning my thoughts with music, I need to! I would have a mental breakdown if i didn't! I should be the least of my parent worries right now. "School, Sherrie, School!" My mom barked out "It's just the beginning of the semester, you'r already behind!" I nearly jumped out of my seat when i heard that, "School?" I said "I cant!, I wont! to many people know, its all over the news! I cant handle the attention!" "Well your going to have, because I already called your school, Your going back tomorrow, your teachers will help you get caught up, besides it might be good for you, it will help you get your mind off things, I'm thinking about going back to work to do the same." I was mad "How could you do that behind my back!? I'm not ready yet, mom!" I yelled with tears in my eyes "and how can you go back to work? you want to just forget about Lewis and just go on with your day, just like that!" right at that moment my mom just stopped the car in the middle of a highway and she turned to me "How dare you say that! I'm always thinking about Lewis, I think about him when I'm awake, when I'm aslee-if i sleep. I will never forget about your brother, and I miss him..a lot, I will not rest until we fine the son of a bitch that took him from us, I will not rest until hes home, safe in my arms!" For a few minutes nether of us said nothing, but it felt like years, Than out of no wheres, we both broke down and and started crying hysterically at the same time.

We got at the airport right on time, to see my sister walking towards us. My mom and I faces were still puffy and our eyes still soaked with tears, but I'm sure Farrah assumed it was from us happy to see her. Farrah was walking like she was a super model, she had a cute floral dress on, and if my dad was here he'd say it was too short. you could never tell we were sisters, actually if you stood Farrah, me, and Lewis next to each other you'd never Gauss we were siblings! Farrah has dark red hair and in some lighting it looks brown, she has a petite body like my mom, and freckles on her face with green eyes like my dad. In high school, Farrah was the "it" girl, she had good grades, she was athlete of the year, and was school president in her Senior year. That was the only good thing about moving before i got to high school, because everyone had high expectations about me, they were expecting me to be like my sister, and if we didn't move they would have been seriously disappointed of me for not being as a good student as my sister. I have blond hair and I have brown eyes, some freckles on my body, I'm not as petite as my mom or sister but i would still say I'm small, I have OK grades in school, and I'm OK in sports, but i have a lot of friends at scho-had a lot of friends, at this high school nobody would even give me a second look, i Gauss that's a good thing for times like now. But its still really different from what I'm use to. My brother Lewis, hes a spiting image of my dad, he has red hair, green eyes, and very pale, we have to make sure hes always wearing sunscreen, even in the winter! Lewis is in 5th grade, and loves playing basketball.

"Momma!" Farrah screeched out while walking towards us "Ferrah, hunny!" mom screeched back. When she made it to us she gave mom a big huge, and my mom started getting tears in her eyes again, than Farrah looked straight at me "Sher, Bear" she said with a sinister look on her face, because she knows how much i hate it when she calls me that, Than she gave me a very tight hug, it wasn't until after i noticed a boy standing behind her, I knew who it was, it was her boyfriend Travis, I knew who he was from when she stilled lived at home with us in the city and we shared a bedroom, she would sneak him in at nights and she would make me sleep on the couch in the family room, but i don't think mom knew who he is, but she was looking at him with a uptight out look, and than Farrah noticed she was staring at him, Travis looked like he was from a boy band, he had his blond hair spiked up and was wearing a plaid shirt under a leather jacket, he has beautiful blue eyes and a beautiful smile to match, hes gorgeous, but looked a little uncomfortable but if he was uncomfortable now, just wait till he meets our dad, Farrah broke the ice, "Momma" she announced "This is Travis...my boyfriend." Mom eyes opened wide open "Boyfriend!?" she shouted "yes mom, we met at school this semester" "This semester? " I said with a laugh and Farrah nudged me on the shoulder and whispered "Shut up!" to me, I didn't want to start anything so I did, Travis finally spoke, "yes mame, I promise im treating her like a princess like she is" mom laughed "save it for her father!" and we all made our way to the car.

The car ride was very quiet, no one was talking until of course, Farrah said something, "so...give a update on Lewis somebody." mom didn't say anything so I did "The police, think he may have been kidnapped by someone in the neighbourhood, the police is searching everybody's house with a criminal record, their not aloud to search anyone's house who don't have a record without a warrant." Farrah responded "well they should get a warrant!" I cant believe it, 15 minutes with my sister and I'm already getting annoyed with her, I closed my eyes shut and answered "There trying! but 32 warrants to search people's house's can take months" "oh" Farrah answered shyly while leaning her head on Travis's shoulder and his arm around her, "OH, by the way" Farrah screamed as if she just remembered something important "Travis has family here and they invited us for supper sometime this week!" I looked back at the backseat where Farrah and Travis were sitting and they looked very proud of themselves "yaay" I say sarcastically and Farrah gives me a dirty look, I glanced at mom driving and she looked like her head is somewhere else in the universe.

We finally made it home from a 20 minute car ride but felt like 8 hours, dad was standing outside waiting for us, Farrah jumped out of the car "Daddy!" Farrah once again screeched, Dad had a very happy look at his face and gave her a hug, but when he saw Travis his smile turned into a frown, and Travis walked up to him, Farrah seemed happy for the two to finally meet, she was standing in between them holding both dad's and Travis's hands, and she said "Dad, this is my boyfriend, Travis" and she moved out of the way, dad was staring into Travis's eyes like he was going to turn into some monster and eat him up, Travis cleared his throat and started to shake dad's hand, when dad grabbed his hand I heard Travis's hand crunch and he yelped out "Hello sir, I promise to treat your daughter as a princess, like she is." It seemed like Travis stood in front of his bathroom mirror and practice the sentience a hundred times. Dad still had a tight grip on Travis's hand, and mom walked up to them and invited Travis in the house, giving dad a dirty look. I had a feeling

 Things will be getting interesting in this town...
